      I love how this is the first time I’ve ever heard this song and then I read these comments! It’s like having your cake and then eating it too. Then it’s so damn good you have more than you’re share. Then you get sick from it….like discombobulated. No wait, dis eased perhaps. You even think it’s possible you’ll die for having so much more than you need. I mean the chance is definitely there. And the longer you eat the cake, the longer it is before you ever see King PeePeePee when you look down again. Then it’s at that point you decide maybe it’s not so bad not being able to see down…I mean cause Meshuggah said not to look down if ya wanna fly maybe. No that’s not it. I’m rambling.
      It’s obvious the point is to….not ummmm do anything to others that you would not want done to yourself. Perhaps also meaning don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, I think the cliche saying is…..hmm, maybe it’s just be grateful you’re alive and it is best to spend the rest of your life lifting or ascending higher through love. Let others choose and you choose also. There is a time to stay silent, no doubt.
      This is for many (including myself) a challenging lesson to say the least. I’m grateful future generations have the opportunity to advance, or shall I say, “Ketchup” (Pulp Fiction) to the level of consciousness required to enjoy life at its most satisfying.
      Yeah, this song reminds me, how lucky I am to be who and where I am at this very moment. Also to strive until my last breath for depth in understanding.

All while this is happening I keep becoming more and more aware of cruelty and injustice being committed around the world as we speak. I'm not only looking down, but jumping down.

    Meshuggah actually do have a 4/4 "groove" feel. That's part of the reason of why I love them -- the crazy polyrhythmic sound makes it feel like the 4/4 groove is *about* to break into something completely different, but it never actually does. Makes a wonderful, suspenseful "on edge" sound.

      The secret is that at least one player is playing 4/4 at all times. In this case, it's Thomas Haake playing 4/4 on the hats and snare, while the kick and guitars/bass are playing 17/16 (but think of it more like 4/4 with an extra 16th note hanging off the end).

    @jamesdavidwest4517 13 років тому +30

    These guys started out as a band who had to think, write down, practice over and over again, and then repeat in order to make music like this. They still have to think and practice, and without a doubt still write down the signatures whenever they are in writing mode. They are just so damn good at it now because they have been doing it for so long that the thinking part is 2nd nature and they pump out songs like this in no time. Superb musicians still use the basic tools to create greatness.

Every time I give myself the time to fully absorb a new (for me) Meshuggah tune, I always come away amazed and inspired. As it happens, it was the lyrics for "Do Not Look Down" that turned me into a fan of this particular song. The message is spot on, as is the musicianship :)

This point of view of mine is pessimistic, so i like your point of view more, it's more optimistic.

    Yes - to learn it, you might want to think in odd meters. However you can get to it is good. It seems to me like it'd be easier to hear it in 4 first, with the exception of songs like Stengah and Concatenation - which are in 4 but really throw your ear if you think of them in 4 at first. I love being thrown off and then learning that it was in 4 the whole time. I'm also glad you're getting ideas from their music! Let's hear what you have some day!

    The unique feature with Meshuggah is the compatibility with the scary imagery and addicting rythms/riffs which hit you without even noticing it. This album has really grown in me since it came out, and as much as i love Bleed, i think this album tops Obzen.

    All you good people just feel the groovy music. That's why they're making it for us.
    Forget about the pretentious conversations about the band's eternal polymetric explorations. Yes anyone with ears has always noticed that 4\4 is almost always the base rhythm and that it's almost always not the only rhythm being simultaneously played. Yes yes yes.
    So forget it and just feel the GROOVE. Just bop your head and air-bass-guitar, or shake your hips and make your girl shake her hips to this groovyliciousness right here! Woohoo!

    Yeah these guys just don't ever stop challenging themselves as musicians and songsmiths. The limitations of whatever their previous effort was tends to always get overshadowed by whatever they come out with next. These guys were around to trailblaze in the mid 90's and have been on the war path ever since. Fuck any haters, this is probably one of the most influential, if not important metal bands from the 90's. And they're still challenging the standards they set in their own genre.

    Guitars and drums both start at 17/16 then for the drums the snare n cymbals give a 4/4 beat and the guitars and bass drums are still at 17/16 so the riff starts at a downbeat and then only returns at the downbeat again after a few bars, the riff kinda shuffles, then the rest of the song is mostly 4/4 with syncopated riffs...for those who didn't know:p
